The vision behind the brand

Inspired by the Sami kåta

The Sami kåta is a simple cone-shaped frame of wooden poles covered with animal hides, with an opening at the top to let out smoke. Very quickly the nomadic reindeer-herding Sami people of northern Scandinavia had a wind-resistant home that was easy to keep warm.

Tentipi Nordic tipis are based upon the traditional design principles of the Sami kåta, coupled with innovative new design, and the latest materials and construction techniques.More about Sami people and culture >

Inventing Stratus™

It’s been an interesting journey over more than two decades. From a moment of inspiration on the banks of a remote river in Lapland, to the unique shape, ingenious Swedish design, technical fabrics and modern engineering of our Stratus™ tipi today. We hope you enjoy the trip.

Supplying giant Nordic Tipis to progressive businesses, forward thinking organisations, and imaginative individuals is what we do. Backed by a range of services built on our own years of experience creating businesses with these tents, we're ready to help you to do something... different.
